Make PING with FLASH

[guif]

Hi!
I would like to make some "ping's" to some PC's.
My idea is to using XML + FLASH.

Is It possible??

You can write a ping server script then call that from Flash.

I have a XML and the code is:

<item>
<PC>
<PC_01>
</PC>
<IP>
<172.18.50.1>
</IP>
<UBICACION>
<Planta 1era>
</UBICACION>
</item>

but.. how to use this code with flash???

 

[kennethkawamoto]

As I said you need to write a server script to ping. Flash would be just a front end which passes your XML data to the script and display the results sent back.

(By the way your XML is not correct...)

i necesary put a lot of IP's

 

[kennethkawamoto]

You can put as many IPs as you like, but not sure if your server script can do simultaneous pings - I'm not a specialist in this field. I don't know what you're going to use - PHP, Perl, Java, whatever - better to ask in the relevant forum.

[kennethkawamoto]

Flash cannot ping, but Flash can talk to something can ping.

action script cannot make ping??? are you sure??
It's impossible use XML (see my first post) and call actionscript?

 

[kennethkawamoto]

Are you sure ActionScript can ping??? Where did you see it???

Actually ActionScript has [tt]clientObject.ping()[/tt] but that's FlashMediaServer serverside ActionScript.
